Your Cash Donation … The Gift of Hope
Northern Lights is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, EIN #14-1981482.
Your donation is tax deductible!
We are always in need of cash donations. The homeless and unwanted dogs we pull from shelters almost always require — at a minimum — the full spectrum of vaccinations, treatment for parasites, and spay/neuter surgery. In addition, they often come into rescue with kennel cough, respiratory infections, malnutrition or other conditions associated with abuse, neglect, or life as a stray. They seldom have had the benefit of loving care from a caring owner, and thus rarely arrive in perfect health. Most importantly, we have a limited number of foster homes, so sometimes a kennel fee is the only thing that stands between a dog being euthanized in a shelter and our ability to offer emergency placement. Your donation, regardless of size, is always very gratefully accepted.
Northern Lights’ minimal administrative expenses (postage, web hosting, insurance) are easily covered by a small percentage of the income derived from adoption donations. This means that not one penny of your gift will go to administrative or other frivolous costs, and will be devoted solely to the care of the dogs awaiting their forever homes. If you’d like, you can even specify the dog (or dogs) you’d like to help by noting that dog’s name on your check. We have volunteer legal and other professional services. Our volunteer base absorbs the costs associated with long distance phone charges, gas for transports, food, toys and treats for the dogs. This means your donation will go to costs directly associated with “buying time” for a dog who has run out of time at a shelter, or helping sick dogs become healthy, strong, and ready for adoption.
Preventable Accidents Are The Leading Cause of Death & Disability Among Pre-Senior Dogs and Cats. We are proud of our sponsorship by 4LoveofPets, Certified Pet Tech Instructors.
